How are we not ahead. Better not cost us in the second half, we have played well and for the most part bossed the game. Some great crosses and plays, as mentioned. Defence has been decent for the most part too.

Did a bird shit on Best's head?

nice through ball from Guti, well defended.

Bernard didn't even play when he came back. But he played his part Mick, he played his part!

I'm embarrassed that NUFC have been forced to stoop this low. I agree, I'm particularly livid since we've never, ever made emergency signings of this nature before. Other than Pancrate, Bernard, Lovenkrands, Ronny Johnsen, Diatta, Srnicek, Sibbers (althoug he was more of a panic buy free signing). All were considered past it or embarassing signings. All did a job when we were in tight spots. People need to get a grip, untwist their knickers and realise Kuqui hasn't been brought in as our saviour. The fact we shouldn't be in this postion isn't being disputed. The fact is we are he is the best of a bad bunch available to us. This gives Ranger and Best a chance they shouldn't really have had. Our team is more dependant on the service the strikers get right now. If we keep building on what we have been doing this year we could stick Pardew up front and he will bury a couple. We will be paying him peanuts and he will be extremely motivated by this chance. He will serve his purpose until the end of the season.

Hulk, Gervinho and Elemander on a free. Ship out Best/Ameobi and Lovenkrands. Send Ranger out on loan.

Hughton to send us down with WBA.. woop woop! Be suprised if he ends up with the job like. As Tron asks, is he really a better manager than Di Matteo? Bit like sacking Hughton and replacing him with Pardew tbh. Strange one. Hodgson is obviously not interested and Jol and O'Neill are out of reach price wise. Fat Sam would be the most likely bet although I am sure he thinks he is way above them.

For all we know his attitude could stink. If he is really worth getting in we will pull out all the stops to get him imo. I know that opinion is against the grain, but if we dont get him it will be because he wants too much or we dont rate him highly enough.

Looks like we are already looking for a cheap summer: Larsson, Marveaux, Elmander and Pratley. Most are way out of our league but there are some decent players likely to be on the move for nowt this summer. Miroslav Klose Hamit Altintop Taye Taiwo Philippe Mexès Abdallah Al Saied Florin Costea Alessandro Matri - Juve have first option. Marco Donadel Reto Ziegler To be fair to Elmander he is an upgrade on what we have. If we bring in in a few freebies we can invest the Carroll money on two or three major signings and wages.

Can we go for getting some self respect back? how much does that cost? Is it even realistic?

Failed the medical. Dean Windass is coming in as backup plan G.

He was turbo shit before then tbf. Better off playing a hobbling Lua Lua. He is welcome to by a season ticket though if he wants to contribute.

Can't see why he wouldn't want to take the short term contract, put himself in the shop window and take another signing on fee in June. Can see why he would turn down our offer of a packet of chips for wages every week...and action figure of 'Xisco' "toon's number 9" for a signing on fee. Maybe we can sway him with a signed Andy Carroll shirt, HR must have a bunch they need to get rid of.

he hasn't been playing decent regularly in nearly seven years, he is 35, completely bonkers and would piss people off...fuck it bring him in. In all seriousness, I would rather have shefki kuqi. Blatent NO

No I dont say this lightly...but Shefki Kuqi? MAN ALIVE!

Believe it when I see it! Would be a good addition if we can get him

Very shitty, madness Barton is snubbed again but hardly surprising. Another toss international game no one cares about.

26 this year, i believe. 25 this year. Still thick as mince ( ) Agree with TRon with the close control, his movement is generally good too and he has a decent finish, pretty composed. Heading was pretty woeful though. Not really surprised his first was given offside today, bit like the boy who cried wolf. Ref saw Best had the ball, it was a given he would be offside on previous form.

The new Dyer or the new Woodgate? Sorry for the lad if true, but fucking hilarious on the other hand.

Going to be worth buying the season review dvd for once! (actually two years in a row now)

Did he resist the temptation to have a tab this time? Think most of the crowd took one or needed to. No dodgy dvd's handed out in public view this time either.

More likely Chelski, Man City or Real will come in for him in the summer at this rate.

Tino looked properly emotionally shattered at half time.. could also be his lifestyle catching up with him. He looked proper gutted though in his Newcastle scarf, was waiting for him to pull out a baretta and silence the two guys joking with him.

Postponing the contract talks until the end of the season is a bad sign. That said I don't blame him at all, makes sense to see where we are for next season. Another profit statistic for Cashley tbh. As much as its detrimental to the team we are going to be a selling team right now if its right for the long term picture of the club.

Totally deserved the four goals conceeded, arguably we deserves to conceed more. That said we also could have had 3/4 goals in the first half too. Arsenal defended well and we missed some decent chances. Can't believe the final stats either 16 - 8 shots? 55/45 posession too.
